Sad Sad Boy

Put on my Fluevog shoes, took a walk downtown,
Saw my baby in her evening gown,
She was hanging out with some other clown,
I'm a sad, sad boy.

I'm a sad boy, and I can't tell no lie,
My woman left me, and I know damn well why,
It's no fun living with a killjoy guy,
I'm a sad, sad boy.

(Chorus) I'm a sad boy, I'm a sad, sad boy,
Can't fake no laughter, can't find no joy,
Talk about depression, I'm the real McCoy,
I'm a sad, sad boy.

When I was a young boy, I was happy all the time,
Skipping down Main Street with a rhythm and rhyme,
Spend all my pennies down at the five and dime,
But now I'm a sad, sad boy.

(Chorus) I'm a sad boy, I'm a sad, sad boy,
Lost my baby, my mother, my best friend Roy,
No one sadder in the whole state of Illinois,
I'm a sad, sad boy.

I'm a sad boy, and I can't tell no lie,
My woman left me, and I know damn well why,
It's no fun living with a killjoy guy,
I'm a sad, sad boy.
